951848 - Miller ArcReach Induction Heater System with Extension Cable

Advanced Induction Heating for Industrial Applications

The Miller ArcReach® Heater with Extension Cable Package (951848) represents a significant leap forward in job site thermal management. Designed specifically for the rigorous demands of the construction, pipe fabrication, and maintenance industries, this system allows operators to perform critical preheat and bake-out applications using their existing ArcReach-compatible welding power sources. By converting the welding output into high-efficiency induction heat, this unit eliminates the logistical headaches associated with bringing in third-party heating contractors or setting up dangerous open-flame heating methods.

One of the primary benefits of this system is its ability to reach temperatures of up to 600°F (315°C) quickly and uniformly. Induction heating induces heat directly within the workpiece itself, rather than applying it from the outside in. This results in a faster time-to-temperature and a more consistent heat zone, which is crucial for maintaining code compliance on critical weld joints. The unit is rated for a continuous 7.8 kW output at 100% duty cycle, ensuring it can handle sustained heating operations without interruption.

Safety and quality control are built into the core of the ArcReach Heater. The system features integrated temperature recording, which automatically documents the joint temperature throughout the heating cycle. This data is essential for verifying that preheat and interpass temperatures met specific welding procedure specifications (WPS). Furthermore, the elimination of open flames significantly improves job site safety, reducing fire hazards and removing the need for handling explosive fuel gases for heating torches.

Portability is another key advantage. Weighing approximately 51 lbs and equipped with a handle and shoulder strap, the heater can be easily moved around complex job sites. Because it draws power from the welding machine via standard weld cables, the heater can be positioned up to 200 feet away from the power source, providing exceptional reach in shipyards, refineries, or large structural projects. This package includes the heater unit and a 10-foot extension cord, ready to be paired with the appropriate air-cooled cables or quick wraps for your specific application.
